Summary
In this chapter, we learned about fault tolerance, auto rebalancing, and how to recover from multi-node failures. We also went through a few configurations to understand how CockroachDB provides these features. Basically, fault tolerance gives us enough time for the Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) and DevOps teams to deal with node failures without any service disruption.
In the next chapter, we will learn about indexes and how they are implemented in CockroachDB.
